AUCTIONEER’S NOTE— This extremely well balanced property is situated in a district of Canterbury well known for its favourable summer capacity. The land has been exceptionally well managed, and very conservatively stocked. This offering places on the market a property which still has considerable potential and ample scope for diversified farming. This property would be well suited to a farmer looking ahead to the settlement of one or two sons. Either of the two blocks would make a valuable addition to an existing property, yet each on its own offers scope as a very worthwhile farming proposition.
